Ali Naderi’s side couldn’t be stopped at Pattaya and defeated everything before them to lift their fourth Asian title, including defeating Oman 8-1 in the final.
Entering the ninth FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, Iran will be sure they have what they need to win the competition for the first time, finishing third in the 2017 and 2024 editions, The AFC.com reported. Reported by Tehran Times.
Preserving his faith in his highly talented team from Thailand in 2025, Nadeli has many options at his disposal for a global exhibit.
Ali Mirshekari, who won the top scorer and most valuable player award in Thailand in 2025, is noteworthy, but Iran has a wonderfully balanced team that can take on the best World Cup challenges.
Mohammadali Mokhtari, Movahed Mohammadpour and Mohammadali Nazarzadeh all stand on equal terms with Mirshekari, further strengthening the Iranian armor.
With a versatile team, Naderi doesn’t distract expectations and fully expects his team to go all the way.
“I came third in the previous FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup,” Nadeli said.
“We’re focused on the team and this time we want to compete in the finals, and we’ll try our best to make that happen.”
Iran will launch a Group B campaign against African champion Mauritania on May 1, with Portugal and Paraguay taking place alongside other enemies.
